I encountered a pokestop that was not in the correct place while I was hiking today. I tried editing the location in the Pokemon GO app, but it kept snapping back to the original location. Can I edit the location via the Wayfarer site somehow? It only shows a ‘report’ option when I select it on the …

Hello @serioussamurai and welcome to the forum In game location edits are limited to 10 meters to avoid abuse issues. So this is not considered a bug. The alternative is to use Help Chat available as a Wayfarer resource [image] Please be prepared with some evidence of the correct position. Hop…
